Did you enjoy partying as a ghost? * Yes.
Which Deathday Party activities did you like the most? * I liked all of them! There were a couple of puzzle tasks I particularly enjoyed (I like puzzles) and I loved the Ghostly Conversations in 'N' (where folks were dancing). There were some things which I enjoyed more than others, but that's the case in almost all of everything of life, and there was nothing that I disliked. It was very well thought out, I felt, with tasks that anyone can do with a little effort (and also the persons hosting the event were open to questions and to helping! - there was one puzzle that I totally misread and Shiloh was helpful in pointing out that 'no, that is not a woman's name' ... and didn't laugh too hard ...
) and there was absolutely no feeling of 'submissions have to be a certain way' (besides size and what-not) to meet criteria. Stick figures (or the equivalent) work fine.
It was a blast.

Yeah! RPG isn't really my thing, but it was fun getting to use some of the family history I made up for a class my first year!
Which Deathday Party activities did you like the most?
I definitely loved the puzzles the most! I'd be interested to see what the other activities were for the food options I didn't pick though. I also enjoyed the ghostly areas because I enjoyed chatting with everyone! RPG and writing are two of my worst subjects, but it was a lot of fun!

I must say Deathday Party was pretty great!
Did you enjoy partying as a ghost?
I enjoyed partying as a ghost. It was fun thinking up a ghost and creating a backstory.
Which Deathday Party activities did you like the most?
I loved the party conversation, though I was really nervous about it, because it was something I don't normally do but it was a lot of fun. I also loved picking the party food which had fun puzzle surprises!

I loved the variety of tasks, but I enjoyed the final week's "Bring Me" task the most. I really liked trying to find an image to fit the description every day. It was most difficult for me to get into the role play. I thought there would be more prompting throughout the week. Ordering dishes from the menu was a creative spin. Sir Nick sure knows how to throw a party!
